Introduction

A module is a statement of the standards to be achieved to gain an FETAC award.
Candidates are assessed to establish whether they have achieved the required
standards. Credit is awarded for each module successfully completed.

The standards in a module are expressed principally in terms of specific learning
outcomes, i.e. what the learner will be able to do on successful completion of the
module. The other elements of the module - the purpose, general aims,
assessment details and assessment criteria - combine with the learning outcomes
to state the standards in a holistic way.

While FETAC is responsible for setting the standards for certification in
partnership with course providers and industry, it is the course providers who are
responsible for the design of the learning programmes. The duration, content and
delivery of learning programmes should be appropriate to the learners’ needs and
interests, and should enable the learners to reach the standard as described in the
modules. Modules may be delivered alone or integrated with other modules.

The development of learners’ core skills is a key objective of vocational
education and training. The opportunity to develop these skills may arise through
a single module or a range of modules. The core skills include:

•   taking initiative
•   taking responsibility for one’s own learning and progress
•   problem solving
•   applying theoretical knowledge in practical contexts
•   being numerate and literate
•   having information and communication technology skills
•   sourcing and orga nising information effectively
•   listening effectively
•   communicating orally and in writing
•   working effectively in group situations
•   understanding health and safety issues
•   reflecting on and evaluating quality of own learning and achievement.

Course providers are encouraged to design programmes which enable learners to
develop core skills.

Glossary of Assessment Techniques

Assignment       An exercise carried out in response to a brief with specific guidelines and
                 usually of short duration.
                 Each assignment is based on a brief provided by the internal assessor.
                 The brief includes specific guidelines for candidates. The assignment is
                 carried out over a period of time specified by the internal assessor.
                 Assignments may be specified as an oral presentation, case study,
                 observations, or have a detailed title such as audition piece, health fitness
                 plan or vocational area profile.


Collection of
Work             A collection and/or selection of pieces of work produced by candidates
                 over a period of time that demonstrates the mastery of skills.
                 Using guidelines provided by the internal assessor, candidates compile a
                 collection of their own work. The collection of work demonstrates
                 evidence of a range of specific learning outcomes or skills. The evidence
                 may be produced in a range of conditions, such as in the learning
                 environment, in a role play exercise, or in real- life/work situations.
                 This body of work may be self- generated rather than carried out in
                 response to a specific assignment eg art work, engineering work etc


Examination      A means of assessing a candidate’s ability to recall and apply skills,
                 knowledge and understanding within a set period of time (time
                 constrained) and under clearly specified conditions.
                 Examinations may be:
                 •   practical, assessing the mastery of specified practical skills
                     demonstrated in a set period of time under restricted conditions
                 •   oral, testing ability to speak effectively in the vernacular or other
                     languages
                 •   interview-style, assessing learning through verbal questioning, on
                     one-to-one/group basis
                 •   aural, testing listening and interpretation skills
                 •   theory-based, assessing the candidate’s ability to recall and apply

FETAC Assessment Principles

1   Assessment is regarded as an integral part of the learning process.

2   All FETAC assessment is criterion referenced. Each assessment technique
    has assessment criteria which detail the range of marks to be awarded for
    specific standards of knowledge, skills and competence demonstrated by
    candidates.

3   The mode of assessment is generally local i.e. the assessment techniques are
    devised and implemented by internal assessors in centres.

4   Assessment techniques in FETAC modules are valid in that they test a range
    of appropriate learning outcomes.

5   The reliability of assessment techniques is facilitated by providing support
    for assessors.

6   Arising from an extensive consultation process, each FETAC module
    describes what is considered to be an optimum approach to assessment.
    When the necessary procedures are in place, it will be possible for assessors
    to use other forms of assessment, provided they are demonstrated to be valid
    and reliable.

7   To enable all learners to demonstrate that they have reached the required
    standard, candidate evidence may be submitted in written, oral, visual,
    multimedia or other format as appropriate to the learning outcomes.

8   Assessment of a number of modules may be integrated, provided the
    separate criteria for each module are met.

9   Group or team work may form part of the assessment of a module, provided
    each candidate’s achievement is separately assessed.

  • 3. Introduction A module is a statement of the standards to be achieved to gain an FETAC award. Candidates are assessed to establish whether they have achieved the required standards. Credit is awarded for each module successfully completed. The standards in a module are expressed principally in terms of specific learning outcomes, i.e. what the learner will be able to do on successful completion of the module. The other elements of the module - the purpose, general aims, assessment details and assessment criteria - combine with the learning outcomes to state the standards in a holistic way. While FETAC is responsible for setting the standards for certification in partnership with course providers and industry, it is the course providers who are responsible for the design of the learning programmes. The duration, content and delivery of learning programmes should be appropriate to the learners’ needs and interests, and should enable the learners to reach the standard as described in the modules. Modules may be delivered alone or integrated with other modules. The development of learners’ core skills is a key objective of vocational education and training. The opportunity to develop these skills may arise through a single module or a range of modules. The core skills include: • taking initiative • taking responsibility for one’s own learning and progress • problem solving • applying theoretical knowledge in practical contexts • being numerate and literate • having information and communication technology skills • sourcing and orga nising information effectively • listening effectively • communicating orally and in writing • working effectively in group situations • understanding health and safety issues • reflecting on and evaluating quality of own learning and achievement. Course providers are encouraged to design programmes which enable learners to develop core skills.

  • 11. Glossary of Assessment Techniques Assignment An exercise carried out in response to a brief with specific guidelines and usually of short duration. Each assignment is based on a brief provided by the internal assessor. The brief includes specific guidelines for candidates. The assignment is carried out over a period of time specified by the internal assessor. Assignments may be specified as an oral presentation, case study, observations, or have a detailed title such as audition piece, health fitness plan or vocational area profile. Collection of Work A collection and/or selection of pieces of work produced by candidates over a period of time that demonstrates the mastery of skills. Using guidelines provided by the internal assessor, candidates compile a collection of their own work. The collection of work demonstrates evidence of a range of specific learning outcomes or skills. The evidence may be produced in a range of conditions, such as in the learning environment, in a role play exercise, or in real- life/work situations. This body of work may be self- generated rather than carried out in response to a specific assignment eg art work, engineering work etc Examination A means of assessing a candidate’s ability to recall and apply skills, knowledge and understanding within a set period of time (time constrained) and under clearly specified conditions. Examinations may be: • practical, assessing the mastery of specified practical skills demonstrated in a set period of time under restricted conditions • oral, testing ability to speak effectively in the vernacular or other languages • interview-style, assessing learning through verbal questioning, on one-to-one/group basis • aural, testing listening and interpretation skills • theory-based, assessing the candidate’s ability to recall and apply theory, requiring responses to a range of question types, such as objective, short answer, structured, essay. These questions may be answered in different media such as in writing, orally etc. Learner Record A self-reported record by an individual, in which he/she describes specific learning experiences, activities, responses, skills acquired. Candidates compile a personal logbook/journal/diary/daily diary/ record/laboratory notebook/sketch book. The logbook/journal/diary/daily diary/record/laboratory notebook/sketch book should cover specified aspects of the learner’s experience.
  • 12. Project A substantial individual or group response to a brief with guidelines, usually carried out over a period of time. Projects may involve: research – requiring individual/group investigation of a topic process – eg design, performance, production of an artefact/event Projects will be based on a brief provided by the internal assessor or negotiated by the candidate with the internal assessor. The brief will include broad guidelines for the candidate. The work will be carried out over a specified period of time. Projects may be undertaken as a group or collaborative project, however the individual contribution of each candidate must be clearly identified. The project will enable the candidate to demonstrate: (some of these – about 2-4) • understanding and application of concepts in (specify area) • use/selection of relevant research/survey techniques, sources of information, referencing, bibliography • ability to analyse, evaluate, draw conclusions, make recommendations • understanding of process/planning implementation and review skills/ planning and time management skills • ability to implement/produce/make/construct/perform • mastery of tools and techniques • design/creativity/problem-solving/evaluation skills • presentation/display skills • team working/co-operation/participation skills. Skills Demonstration Assessment of mastery of specified practical, organisational and/or interpersonal skills. These skills are assessed at any time throughout the learning process by the internal assessor/another qualified person in the centre for whom the candidate undertakes relevant tasks. The skills may be demonstrated in a range of conditions, such as in the learning environment, in a role-play exercise, or in a real- life/work situations. The candidate may submit a written report/supporting documentation as part of the assessment. Examples of skills: laboratory skills, computer skills, coaching skills, interpersonal skills.
  • 13. FETAC Assessment Principles 1 Assessment is regarded as an integral part of the learning process. 2 All FETAC assessment is criterion referenced. Each assessment technique has assessment criteria which detail the range of marks to be awarded for specific standards of knowledge, skills and competence demonstrated by candidates. 3 The mode of assessment is generally local i.e. the assessment techniques are devised and implemented by internal assessors in centres. 4 Assessment techniques in FETAC modules are valid in that they test a range of appropriate learning outcomes. 5 The reliability of assessment techniques is facilitated by providing support for assessors. 6 Arising from an extensive consultation process, each FETAC module describes what is considered to be an optimum approach to assessment. When the necessary procedures are in place, it will be possible for assessors to use other forms of assessment, provided they are demonstrated to be valid and reliable. 7 To enable all learners to demonstrate that they have reached the required standard, candidate evidence may be submitted in written, oral, visual, multimedia or other format as appropriate to the learning outcomes. 8 Assessment of a number of modules may be integrated, provided the separate criteria for each module are met. 9 Group or team work may form part of the assessment of a module, provided each candidate’s achievement is separately assessed.
